I am after an early bay model ('68-'72) with the following basic requirements:
· Minimal rust
· Capable of being registered as an 8 seater – no pop-tops
· Runner with sound engine and ‘box (will rebuild if needed, just need to be able to move in/out of garage during restoration)
· Preferably white, but any colour considered
· Up to $2000

Let me know if you've got one or know of one :bouncenn[ Edited on 24/7/2005 by jb4845 ]

you would probably be lucky to pick up an early bay for that price , was a later bay that was 8 seat plated , but alas no motor etc , for $750 posted on hear by More Boost the other week:thumb

hey josh, Kimm at Indian's got a 68 I think, a white one. But to I don't reckon you're gonna get a Micro that will do what 'er indoors wants for that kind of loot and be a happy non-camper. I'd go 71-72 if you can personally.

Thanks Roy - bit more than the better half is prepared to let me outlay at the start - but I have thought about yours before!

crewcabconnection - I would really like a '71, or '72 but wanted to be open for all of the early shape - I guess I am not in a huge hurry and will just need to wait for the right one to come along - I think the '68 Kimm has may have been sold, plus it has a late front clip on it and I really want the low indicators

thanks for letting me know just the same - keep em coming if you know of them

Thanks for pointing that one out - might give the guy a call and go and have a look

But I am pretty certain about an early one

I have found one some distance from me and they have sent pictures - there is very visible rust on the front panel behind the bumper - does this mean that it will be pretty rotton underneath the panel and across the structural beam at the front - anybody?
